I'm trying to understand the effects of scoped addressing and have some difficulty of deciding how system should work on following situation:
if it is possible to specify listening socket with ANY address, but somehow limited to specific scope (for example, site local scope with identifier = X) then the action is clear, if incoming packet has site local destination (of the host). The incoming destination scope must by X. However, I'm not quite sure how I should deal with other incoming destionations: link local or global scope packets. Should I a) match them with site scope listen, if the originating interface belongs to site scope = X? b) only accept strictly destination with site scope addresses, even if they enter system from interface that has site scope = X? -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPng Working Group Mailing List IPng Home Page: http://playground.sun.com/ipng FTP archive: ftp://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng Direct all administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------
